In the 1960s, Hillary Clinton (who at the time went by her maiden name Rodham) was a Republican who supported Barry Goldwater and Nelson Rockefeller. But by the end of the decade she switched parties over her opposition to Richard Nixon. What if Rodham had decided to stay a Republican? Would she...

I am very proud to announce my choice for America’s next Secretary of State -- John Kerry. In a sense, John’s entire life has prepared him for this role. As the son of a Foreign Service officer, he has a deep respect for the men and women of the State Department -- the role they play in...

What if Senator Hillary Clinton had voted against the Iraq War? Would she have defeated Barack Obama in the 2008 primaries? If nominated, would she have beaten McCain in the general? How would US history have been different if Clinton had opposed the war?

The POD is Hillary Clinton defeats Barack Obama for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2008. She selects Indiana Senator Evan Bayh as her running mate and goes on to defeat John McCain in the general election. Four years later Clinton/Bayh are up against Mitt Romney and his running mate...

What if instead of running for senate in New York in 2000, she waited until 2004 to run for the senate seat in Illinois? Does she get it? How does 2008 look without Barack Obama? If Hillary wins the nomination in 2008, who does she select as Vice President? Does Obama have a path to the White...

Two years ago, FiveThirtyEight released an article[1] about how Evan McMullin would theoretically become president in a very unlikely scenario. Basically, McMullin first had to win Utah and cause a deadlock in the electoral college, then be picked by the house. In order to get this to happen...

The POD is New York Governor Mario Cuomo jumps into the 1992 Presidential race as expected and he crushes Tsongas and Clinton in the New Hampshire Primary. Unlike in OTL where Clinton's surprise showing in NH allowed him to become "the Comeback Kid," his humiliating defeat to Cuomo sucks out all...

The 2012 election between Obama and Romney was a relatively close affair. Romney did very well in the initial debates and was leading the President for a brief period in the polls, but his gaffes about the 47% and women ruined his chances and Obama carried the day. Had Clinton bested Obama in...

Basically, what if Hillary Rodham had met George W Bush while she was campaigning for Rockefeller and they hit it off and started dating before eventually marrying. In this scenario, she moves down to Texas instead of Arkansas. How would a Hillary Rodham - George W Bush marriage impact their...

In 1993, Bill Clinton had the "sexy" idea of appointing the First Lady, Hillary Clinton, as a Supreme Court Justice. They eventually went with Ruth Bader Ginsburg instead, because as Bill was told by his aides, "safe is better than sexy." But what if Bill had been willing to face the possible...

I'm working on a timeline that involves an alternate 2016 election with lots of 3rd party candidates (even more so than in OTL). I'm trying to calculate how to pull out a Hillary win for this scenario, and I was wondering who would be a good 3rd party spoiler for Trump from the right wing (other...
